Stand-up comedians who defy boundaries in their performances and personal lives are profiled in this documentary. Despite touring in a rundown van through the Midwest, they oscillate between striving for success and embracing the freedom of having nothing to lose. Their grueling road life is marked by camaraderie and chaos, with cruel pranks and heavy drinking fuelling their dark humor. As they face the consequences of pushing the limits too far, they must decide between toning down their act or doubling down on their unapologetic style.
